Eurovision is taking place in Liverpool later this year and the city will also receive the ‘official keys of Eurovision’ live on air at the end of this month.
The popular Eurovision Song Contest is an annual song-writing extravaganza that sees mainly European competitors battle it out to be crowned the winner, usually with an array of spectacular and varied performances. Last year, Ukraine was victorious.
Due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), who organises the competition, broke from tradition after ruling it would not be safe to hold the 2023 contest there. Liverpool beat off competitors including Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham to play host.
